Summary

  • Domenico Formichetti staged PDF’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection dubbed “FREE-DOM” at Milan Fashion Week
  • “Sometimes my mind feels like a cage,” said the young designer, the sentiment that fueled this season’s menswear lineup

As a passionate gamer, I always dive headfirst into my creative projects without holding back. It’s this intensity that drives me to design menswear that ignites conversations, pushing boundaries with innovative ideas, captivating visual concepts, daring silhouettes, and a style code that veers away from the norm in sports fashion. Yet, as I recently confessed in my interview for TopMob Magazine 34: The Uniform Issue, there are times when I feel hemmed in by the limitations of my own mind.

In his Spring/Summer 2026 Milan fashion show titled “FREE-DOM,” the young designer conveyed this idea more fully. He invited a group of high-profile attendees and fashion enthusiasts to a stark, prison-like setting. Models walked along enclosures, embodying the designer’s internal feelings of being confined, questioning, and yearning for freedom.

In a post-show comment, Formichetti expressed that his thoughts often resemble a confining space, and the means of escape is through creation. He mentioned there’s always tension between the preconceived notions others have of him and the messages he truly wishes to convey.

The underlying principle sets the stage for the compilation, indicating a change in addressing cultural trends toward guiding discussions internally instead. For Spring/Summer 2026, the focus is on pushing the boundaries of PDF, enabling it to fully realize its potential without restrictions. Bold colors envelop sharper, more impactful shapes, accentuated by textured tones and a sophisticated take on footwear design.

A significant aspect of Formichetti’s creative work emphasizes community, which is evidently reflected in the show. Adhering to the collection’s slogan – “release as a shared experience” – the brand invited its circle of cultural innovators, including Rafael Leão, Stefon Diggs, Alvin Kamara, Tony Effe, and Julez Smith, to strut down the runway together.

“This is the beginning of something. Because once you break out, you don’t go back.”
